| Function |
Promotes cholesterol efflux from macrophage cells. Detected in HDL, LDL and VLDL. Secreted by a microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP)-dependent mechanism, probably as a VLDL-associated protein that is subsequently transferred to HDL. May be involved in myocardium-protective mechanisms against lipid accumulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16956892}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16956892}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in all tissues examined. Up- regulated in diabetic heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16956892}.
